I still watch at least the beginning each episode and most of all of them. I have been watching in from the beginning (when I was 21) and it seems to be so haphazard now. Instead of a full episode, many of them seem to be just a disjointed collection of scenes. I DO hope the last episode, whenever that is, is longer than 30 mins and has a feel that a lot of time as pasted, bring back some old characters, and just generally give us the sense of a loss. I agree with Aaron, that Halloween will not… Read more »

As quoted by Phil Hartman, as Troy McClure in the episode “The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular”… “Yes, the Simpsons have come a long way since an old drunk made humans out of his rabbit characters to pay off his gambling debts. Who knows what adventures they’ll have between now and the time the show becomes unprofitable? I’m Troy McClure, and I’ll leave you with what we all came here to see: hardcore nudity!”
The Simpsons are still going strong, but we’ve lost Phil. His is missed.

I remember watching this show when I was a kid. and I don’t watch it anymore as much. I don’t have time and is not as funny. My kids are not die hard fans of this show as I was. It should end this season RIP. GREAT SHOW 25 GREAT YEARS

Considering the ratings its still getting there are still plenty of people who still enjoy the show. So I say let the show go for as long as enough people are still watching to make it worth spending money on. No reason to get rid of it just because SOME of the older viewers think its no longer funny. I have never been one to think a show should die “on top” because in my opinion a show is always “on top” until it is canceled. If I like a show I want it to go on for as long… Read more »

I agree. This isnt like a normal show where there is an overlying story arch and you are still waiting 26 season to find out the secrets. We dont need a grand finale to answer all the questions here. Not sure why people feel they have to watch a show until it is over. When you stop enjoying it, stop watching. Simple. I stopped watching when it became stale for me. But about 5 seasons later I started watching again. Is it as good as it used to be? Not really to me. Its just a show I watch now… Read more »

I still watch every episode – eventually. It’s not the appointment viewing that it was when I was in high school and college (dear lord I was in 8th grade when it started) and it’s not how it used to be I know that. Still, there’s something in every episode that makes me laugh and it’s still better than a lot of the “comedies” on tv. For me it’s good enough – “good enough” is good enough for me…

Despite the fact that I do not really watch The Simpsons on a regular basis, I hope FOX renews The Simpsons for a “farewell season” soon. I believe 26 seasons is plenty enough, and maybe there should be some creative closure for this show.
